Description
James Monroe: A Life
This biography vividly re-creates the epic sweep of Monroe's life, from his early days as a soldier and senator to his years as president. He was a man who embodied the restless spirit of the age, never one to back down from a fight.
Monroe lived through some of the most pivotal moments in American history, including the Louisiana Purchase and the burning of Washington, D.C. This biography explores his complex friendships with Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, as well as his lifelong struggle to reckon with his own complicity in slavery.
